Draft Grade — Packers

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The Packers did not so much draft Dallas Gant as overpay for him, 76 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Schrader pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at Round 2, Pick 26 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in pick No. 91, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Somehow Braelon Allen was still sitting there in pick 126, and they pounced on premier running back value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Steal is underselling it; Cody Schrader at Round 6, Pick 44 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dallas Gant
Dallas Gant at the 245th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at slot 255 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
